"..Pallavi Saran Mathur could possibly be judged as the best dancer of the
festival. Her performance was noteworthy for its complete approach, precise and
distinct execution of rhythmic patterns, and a subtle command over expressions.."- V. Shankar in his
write-up on the prestigious Sur Singar Parishad "Kal ke Kalakar"
Festival 2009- The Afternoon - Mumbai
"…truly a remarkable
performance…. The viraha of the nayika
was communicated well through her facial expressions, which she could change in
quicksilver fashion - now despondent, now infatuated, now happy … ….
Particularly breathtaking were a couple of karanas…
she promised she would try to demystify the art form of Bharatanatyam.. she kept her promise. " A.Seshan in Narthaki -on-
line, on Pallavi's
performance at NCPA (National Centre for Performing Arts- Mumbai - Sep. 2008

fine presence, Pallavi combines clarity of dance lines that speak of excellent
grooming under the teacher”… - Dr.

stamina, powers of memory were all well tested during the marathon
rendition…Blessed with classical good looks, Pallavi’s
poise adds charm to her performance…Pallavi introduces contrasts of hard and

Hindu – New Delhi, on Pallavi's performance at India International Centre, New

“Palavi went through the numbers with ease, grace and
poise…she executed alluring karanas while in motion
without the slightest jerky angularities…Her abhinaya
is communicative…she has the advantage of compelling eyes…there was precision
in her footwork. The third round brought the house down. Here she occupied the
entire stage providing fleeting movements of immense grace…” – (Late) Shri Subbudu, The
Statesman – New Delhi - on Pallavi's performance at India International Centre, New Delhi -

“..her
performance combined lyrical grace with geometric precision …the young dancer
enchanted the viewers… as she brought alive the intrinsic beauty of the dance
form…her prowess and training was manifested in the Varnam
as her large expressive eyes told the
story and her agile body mirrored the pure dance nritta
as well as the cosmic energy of Lord Shiva
…Rasa and bhava coalesced to form an aesthetic
whole marked by dexterous footwork…Precise postures and mudras….were
executed with consummate ease…” The Hindustan Times – Chandigarh on Pallavi's performance at Pracheen Kala
